At first the UFC tried to make Frankie vs. Stephens for interim featherweight title but it was too short of notice for Edgar. I'm with you, I don't blame Ortega at all turning down Stephens, no reason to take a risk on a lesser opponent.
I also hate this garbage with interim belts and glad the original back-up plan didn't work out.
